 * Hello!
 * Several clients (who have not yet activated double factor authentication) report
   to me that they cannot access the website after logging in because the “skip”
   and continue link does not work and does not allow them to enter.
 * The clients that have reported to me are different installations, so it is a 
   problem that happens recurrently in those cases.
 * On the other hand, it would be interesting if they linked the documentation well
   to their website. No links lead to the proper information.

 * Hi [@borjamerino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/borjamerino/), thanks for
   reaching out! I understand some of your clients cannot skip the 2FA Onboarding
   after logging in because the “skip” and “continue” links are not working.
   Are
   your clients using Solid Security Pro? If so, the 2FA setup will be required 
   if they enable the _Require Two Factor_ option in the User Groups settings.
 * But if they’re using Solid Security Basic, the onboarding process is not enforced.
   Could you please describe what happens when the skip/continue links are clicked?
   What happens if they load /wp-admin in the URL instead of skipping the 2FA Onboarding
   step? I tried replicating the issue, but skipping it works fine (here’s a quick
   demo). If they see any errors on the browser console and network tabs when they
   click the skip/continue links, please send them here. Could you also confirm 
   if the issue persists when they deactivate all the other plugins except Solid
   Security and temporarily switch to a default WordPress theme?
 * Looking forward to hearing from you!

    - **Could you please describe what happens when the skip/continue links are 
      clicked?**
       * When the customer clicks the jump button doesn’t work, it clicks and doesn’t
         work. It’s like disabled.
    - **What happens if they load /wp-admin in the URL instead of skipping the 2FA
      Onboarding step?**
       * I have not tried. But I’m almost sure it would access wp-admin correctly.
         Because they log in correctly.
    - **Could you also confirm if the issue persists when they deactivate all the
      other plugins except Solid Security and temporarily switch to a default WordPress
      theme**?
       * Unfortunately no, all sites are in production. If another of my clients
         suffers from this again, I will try it.
 * I have recreated the problem again. I have created a user (in solid basic) and
   when I go to log in with his username and password, this window pops up:
 * ![](https://i0.wp.com/nimbada.es/soporte-solid/1.png?ssl=1)
 * It is impossible to jump or configure. But you do access the website if you visit/
   wp-admin/ In addition, a warning appears in the console, I don’t know if it is
   directly related to it.
 * On this website, it would be the third similar case that I have come across. 
   Different from the other two websites.

 * Hi [@borjamerino](https://wordpress.org/support/users/borjamerino/),
 * It turns out that the PHP fatal error is caused by an incorrect (Spanish) translation
   string on translate.wordpress.org.
 * Below the string to translate:
 * > For iOS devices, the %2$s Authy%1$s, %3$s Google Authenticator%1$s, or %4$s
   > FreeOTP Authenticator%1$s apps are the most popular token generators.
 * Currently (incorrectly) translated on translate.wordpress.org as:
 * > En dispositivos iOS, las aplicaciones %2$s Authy%1$s, %3$s Google Authenticator%
   > 1$s, %4$s FreeOTP Authenticator%1$s o %5$s Toopher%1$s son las más populares
   > para generar tokens.
 * And it should be (correctly) translated as below:
 * > En dispositivos iOS, las aplicaciones %2$s Authy%1$s, %3$s Google Authenticator%
   > 1$s o %4$s FreeOTP Authenticator%1$s son las más populares para generar tokens.
 * Note the Toopher app was removed.
 * So to fix this, the Spanish (Spanish) string translation needs to be corrected
   on translate.wordpress.org. Once that is done you’ll need to update the SolSec
   plugin translation in WordPress.
 * Oh almost forgot, there are several different Spanish translations, so it could
   be you are using eg Spanish (Colombia) etc. I have not checked all Spanish languages,
   but I can confirm this is an issue with the Spanish (Spanish) SolSec plugin translation.

 * Hi [@shanedelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/).
 * Do I have to apply a translation to something that I have not modified? I don’t
   know what I should modify. I have no idea what the problem is.

 * Hi everyone,
 * I have encountered [a similar problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/php-error-in-es_es-translation-due-to-mismatch-templates),
   and have changed the translation to match the English version and avoid this 
   error. As soon as a translation editor approves the suggested change, this should
   be resolved.
